history

Development of the city

The first written mention of Bönnigheim can be found in the Lorsch Codex . In a document dated February 16, 793, the nun Hiltburg bequeathed the communities of Bönnigheim, Erligheim and Alt-Cleebronn to the Lorsch monastery . Through this donation, Bönnigheim later came with the monastery to the bishopric of Mainz .

Between 1235 and 1252 the Count Palatine of Tübingen had access to farms in Bönnigheim, which transferred a farm to the Bebenhausen monastery around 1235 . In 1284 Abbot Volland and the convent of Hirsau Monastery sold their property in Bönnigheim and Botenheim to Bebenhausen Monastery "for the sake of their debts".

1276, the son of the noble free Albert called junior from Roßwag "Werner von Boennigheim" when he takes on Castle Magenheim the monastery Herrenalb all its fields and meadows in Aurich sold. He could have been a vassal of the Counts of Grüningen , who had gained access to imperial and Staufer household goods after the battle of Frankfurt in the Swabian Unterland, until King Rudolf von Habsburg gave Count Hartmann III. von Grüningen took the illegal gain back in 1280 and handed these goods over to his provincial bailiff Albrecht II von Hohenberg for the time being . So the Hohenberg Count appeared on February 3, 1286 as "advocatus et dominus civitatis Bunnenkain" or Vogt and lord of the Bönnigheim, which was raised to town by King Rudolf in 1284. In 1291 the king handed the young city over to his son Albrecht von Löwenstein-Schenkenberg .

Ganerbentum

By inheritance, marriage and purchase, the ownership rights to the town and castle were split up soon afterwards, from which the Ganerbentum arose, which lasted until 1750. During this time, the property of the city, which was still under the Mainz fiefdom, was divided between four noble families ( Lords of Sachsenheim , Lords of Liebenstein , Lords of Gemmingen and Lords of Neipperg ). Each Ganerbe was entitled to a quarter delimited along the central axes of the square city plan. These inheritance relationships also applied in neighboring Erligheim .

It is not possible to divide a city into four sectors without cutting into social life. In such a situation, quarrels among the heirs are hardly anything special. For this reason, 1388 has been truce concluded with the Boennigheim got his first town charter. In the truce, the Ganerbe decided to elect a builder from among their ranks every two years, later every three years, who was responsible for the administration of the city. The respective builder took up residence in the castle. The elections for the city council and mayor as well as the appointment of a bailiff were also regulated.

The castle was burned down during the Peasants' War , rebuilt in 1546, but partially torn down again in 1697. It is still in this condition today.

Modern times

In 1750, Count Friedrich von Stadion bought the entire city and thus ended the Ganerbentum. In 1756 he had the magnificent castle built. In 1785 the city was sold to Duke Carl Eugen von Württemberg . In Württemberg , the city initially formed its own Oberamt . It was not until the implementation of the new administrative structure in the Kingdom of Württemberg , founded in 1806, that it was assigned to the Oberamt Besigheim . In 1938, during the Nazi era in Württemberg , Bönnigheim came to the Ludwigsburg district .

During the Second World War , when French soldiers marched in on April 7, 1945, both the Wehrmacht and the French destroyed parts of the city center, which resulted in many civilian casualties. The historical models were given little consideration during the reconstruction.

Since Bönnigheim had become part of the American zone of occupation after the Second World War , the city had belonged to the newly founded state of Württemberg-Baden since 1945 , which became the current state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.

Buildings

Köllesturm
Cemetery chapel

Bönnigheim has numerous worth seeing, listed buildings. The signposted historical tour through the city leads along almost 50 buildings.

  • Bönnigheim Castle formed the north-western boundary of the medieval town and was destroyed in the Peasants' War, then rebuilt and largely demolished in the 17th century. A tower and a massive stone house are still preserved from her. Remains of the medieval city wall, the total length of which was around 1150 meters and which was up to 9.10 meters high and 1.40 meters thick, still exist to the west of the castle.
  • The Köllesturm is a gate tower of the earlier city wall from the 13th century. Outside the city wall, a bridge led over the dry city moat to this tower, which was closed with a wing and train gate. The tower received its current roof shape during a renovation after a fire in the late 18th century.
  • The Diebsturm is a semicircular tower that was added to the city wall in 1458.
Stadionsches Schloss
  • The Stadionsche Palace was built in 1756 by master builder Anton Haaf for Friedrich Graf Stadion. In its eventful history, the building served u. a. from 1828 to 1888 as a forestry office, later as a royal institution for the deaf and dumb and as a Schiller College for American students. The Charlotte Zander Museum for Naive Art and Art Brut has been located in the castle since 1996 .
  • The cavalier building with a striking stepped gable on the city wall is the last remaining part of the Liebensteiner Schlösschen, in the place of which the Stadionsche Palace was later built. In the building is u. a. the municipal music school and the youth café.
  • The forest prison between the castle and the Kavaliersbau was built as a prison for poachers and forest violators in the 19th century. Today the Sophie La Roche Museum is located there.
  • The Georgsbrunnen with the figure of Saint George fighting a dragon was built in 1549, its fountain trough dates from 1816 and is inscribed with the names of the city councils at that time. The well in front of the castle served as a fire extinguishing water reservoir for a long time.
Cyriacus Church
  • The Cyriakus Church goes back to a Romanesque basilica and was first mentioned in 1100. There is a mirror installation by the Bönnigheim artist Margit Stäbler-Nicolai (* 1956) on the church square.
  • The Cyriakus Pfründehaus at the church square was the home of the first pastor until 1869 and later the local prison. In the neighboring stilt house, more living space was created in the upper floor, which protrudes and rests on wooden posts.
  • The Bebenhausen courtyard was a courtyard of the Bebenhausen monastery, which already owned in Bönnigheim in 1103. The building dates from around 1620, it has an envious head and its compartment paintings show contemporary song lyrics. Today the building, renovated in 1983, houses a hotel.
  • The Mainzer Hof am Meierhof 7 is an early Gothic, two-story stone house from the end of the 13th century.
  • The Maulbronner Hof was built in 1581 as the estate of the Maulbronn Monastery. The building has since been converted into a residential and commercial building.
Gemminger wine press
  • The Neipperger Kelter and the Gemminger Kelter are massive winepress buildings from the year 1600, which go back to the Lords of Neipperg and the Lords of Gemmingen , who each owned a quarter of the city of Bönnigheim from the Middle Ages to the 18th century. The Gemminger Kelter has been modernized into a contemporary business and residential building, the Neipperger Kelter has not been refurbished on the outside and houses the clubhouse of a sports club. The other two wine presses owned by the gentlemen from Sachsenheim and Liebenstein were demolished when the cooperative press was built in 1949. This has a clock tower with the coats of arms of the previous four Ganerbe families and was later temporarily converted into a supermarket.
  • The former Gemminger Amtshaus is located near the church. The building, which has been converted into a residential and commercial building, barely reveals its historical core.
  • The Ganerbe fountain in the center of the village also shows the coats of arms of the four Ganerbe families and reminds of the division of the village into quarters.
Half-timbered house on the market
  • The former town clerk's house at Kirchstrasse 22 has remains of late Gothic painting from 1541/42.
  • The city pharmacy at Kirchgasse 2 was built in 1764 in the late Baroque style, a pharmacy has been in the house since 1848. The old facility can be viewed through new shop windows.
  • There are also numerous other historical half-timbered buildings in the village, including historical inns such as the Gasthaus Bären from 1766. The Weingärtnerhaus from 1810 and the residential house from 1757 in Grabengasse as well as the Ackerbürgerhaus from 1630 with a total of nine roof fields in Schloßstraße are to be highlighted.
  • The Villa Amann at Kirchheimer Straße 15 was built in 1900.
Kloesterle
  • About one and a half kilometers southwest of the city center are the ruins of the Klösterle on the edge of the vineyards. Around 1435 a chapel was built there, which was dedicated to the "Blessed Virgin Mary". In connection with the spring at which it was located, it became a place of pilgrimage. Barefoot monks lived there from 1477 until the Reformation . After the Reformation the monastery was abandoned. The stones were partly used for buildings in Bönnigheim. The remains were eventually completely covered by soil. In 1975 the remains of the complex were rediscovered and uncovered during land consolidation work.
  • Hohenstein Castle : Renaissance castle, today the seat of the Hohenstein Institute .

Economy and Infrastructure

Viticulture

Viticulture has been known in Bönnigheim since it was first mentioned in a document.

As a producers' cooperative, the Strombergkellerei expands the wines of Bönnigheim, Kirchheim am Neckar , Hohenhaslach and Erligheim . Nationally known as a winery especially for Pinot Noir and Lemberger of high quality is the Dautel winery .

traffic

Road traffic

Bönnigheim and its districts are not directly connected to the trunk road network. The next federal road is the B 27 in Kirchheim am Neckar (via K 1679) or in the direction of Lauffen am Neckar (via L 2254). The next exit on the motorway is the Mundelsheim junction on the A 81 Stuttgart - Heilbronn. There are also district / state roads to Botenheim , Meimsheim , Walheim (via the Hofen district ), Erligheim, Freudental , Treffentrill and Cleebronn .

Public transportation

The Stuttgart Transport and Tariff Association (VVS) and the Heilbronner Hohenloher Haller Nahverkehr (HNV) operate bus routes that connect Bönnigheim with the surrounding cities and villages. Bönnigheim itself is in the area of ​​the VVS and is served by this with the lines 554 to Untermberg (Bietigheim-Bissingen) via Bietigheim-Bissingen and 574 (A) to Besigheim and Ottmarsheim.

The closest train station in Kirchheim am Neckar offers a connection to the Frankenbahn in the direction of Heilbronn or Stuttgart . Alternatively, the train station in Bietigheim-Bissingen can be reached by bus, where there is a connection to the Stuttgart S-Bahn and the Karlsruhe Stadtbahn (the latter can also be reached via Heilbronn).

Industry

The industrial age came to Bönnigheim relatively late. It was not until November 1, 1854, that Alois Amann (1824-1892) and Immanuel Böhringer (1822-1906) founded a company for the manufacture of twisted and dyed silk in a building that used to be a boys' institute.

On December 1, 1854, in addition to a twisting machine, two wind machines and one cleaning machine were already in operation. The modest production of the new company was initially dyed in the Rau dye works in Berg with somewhat externally purchased threads and then brought to Bönnigheim, where twelve women reworked it and reeled it on a reel. The driving force was provided by two wheel drivers who laboriously turned a large flywheel . However, the strength of these men turned out to be insufficient until 1855 as a result of the other machines installed and their human performance was therefore replaced by a göpelwerk driven by two donkeys (later two oxen) . In 1855 the black dyeing was operated under its own management; additional machines of various types were purchased. In 1856 four new twisting machines, six more wind machines and further winding and reeling machines were used. All engines were powered by a four-horsepower steam engine that replaced the ox. In 1857 between 90 and 100 women were employed.

After the Franco-Prussian War (1870–1871) the company flourished and expanded and a larger steam engine was put into operation. In the year of the 25th anniversary in 1879, the Amann und Böhringer company was considered a leading company among German silk threading mills.

In 1880 the important competitor Payr and Mayer factory in Augsburg and its subsidiary in Mossingen were bought up and the management staff were transferred to Bönnigheim. In 1880 Immanuel Böhringer retired into private life and Alois Amann took over the business until he was supported by his sons, Emil Amann (1862–1935) and Alfred Amann (1863–1942), after which the company was called Amann and Sons. Emil made attempts to manufacture synthetic fibers, but finally came to the conclusion that the natural silk could not be replaced by anything of the same value. This was followed by the acquisition of two factories in Northern Italy in Seriate and Telgate . Emil Amann traveled to Germany and the most distant European countries to expand the sales of the factories, while his father and brother concentrated on running the company.

A separate coule dye factory was opened in 1884, as the silk that had previously been dyed externally had repeatedly given rise to complaints. Since there is no river flowing through Bönnigheim, water was drilled for the dyeing process on the factory premises. Alfred Amann completed an apprenticeship in Lyon, London and Krefeld before returning to the company to take on the position of technical director. After Alois Amann's death in 1892, the sons took over the company and remained in business partnership until 1917, when Emil left the plant and moved to Wiesbaden as a privateer.
